Were there savings, investments, or other assets?

"The compassion, respect and professionalism of all involved was exemplary. Of all the numerous problems that unfortunately come with a family death, the one aspect that was made easier was the funeral itself."
— Laurence Massey
"Jack was our undertaker on the day and he was respectful, compassionate and caring as well as being efficient. Elaine advised us on all aspects from booking the Crematorium to advising about the service and different choices we needed to make."
— Hilary R (about Elaine & Jack)
"They helped us to give our dear mum a memorable send off that we will look back on for years to come. They helped make a difficult time less stressful by taking on many of the external arrangements for us."
— Heather Barnes
"After our meeting it felt like I had a large weight off my mind. Elaine made the whole process very easy, and on the day the drivers were very helpful in every aspect."
— Tony Burnham (about Elaine)
"Cannot praise Elaine enough for all the assistance she provided during such a difficult time. Having just lost my mother our minds were elsewhere and she ensured that everything down to the fine detail was sorted."
— Nalu Hayward (about Elaine)
"From start to finish it was a positive experience. Elaine was great and exactly the sort of person we needed. Jack on the day was so professional but sensitive to our needs - sorting out the arrival of 2 unannounced canine guests at the last minute. We all agree our Step father John had a perfect sending off."
— Gaynor Lam (about Elaine & Jack)
